Easier said than done
My September column talked about the importance keeping a stiff upper lip when being de-friended. "Take the emotion out of it!" I like to say. "People have the right to pick and choose their online peeps!" I'll remind you.
But just now, when I see that a friend I went to bat for, encouraged and truly believed in has de-friended me -- I can't lie to you -- it feels like crap.
No matter how Facebook-cool I like to think I am, I still get de-friended. We all do. And I don't care so much when they are people that aren't my social friends in real life -- you know, just folks I've met a few times or work peeps I barely know -- but when they are ACTUAL friends, I'll admit that it stings a little.
Thankfully, I'm taking my own advice and am channeling my mother. I can hear her words now: "You are better off knowing who your friends are - and anyway, it's his/her loss."
(sigh)
Yeah, I know, momma, I know. But it still makes me feel like poop.

Her Datebook

Shauntel Jennings has never slept like a baby. Even as an infant, her mother stood guard over her crib, waiting for her daughter to stop breathing. She shook Shauntel’s tiny body several times each night, rousing her from her breathless sleep.
